BG CUCRC16DPA — 16A C Curve Bidirectional Compact RCBO (30mA Type A)
The BG Fortress CUCRC16DPA is a premium 16A, C-curve, bidirectional RCBO that combines residual-current protection with overload and short-circuit protection in a single compact module. Engineered for modern domestic and light-commercial installations, this RCBO delivers 30mA Type A earth-leakage detection, making it suitable for circuits with electronic loads and pulsed DC components.
With a bidirectional design, the CUCRC16DPA is ideal for systems where current may flow in either direction — such as solar PV or generation-linked installations — while still providing full protection for standard socket, lighting and appliance circuits.
By integrating both RCD and MCB functions, this RCBO safeguards against:
Residual current faults (earth leakage) with 30 mA sensitivity
Overload and short-circuit events through a C-curve characteristic
Its double-pole isolation disconnects live and neutral simultaneously for enhanced safety and compliance with BS 7671.
Designed for ease of installation and routine maintenance, the CUCRC16DPA offers:
Compact single-module width to maximise space in consumer units
Bidirectional capability for renewable and back-feed applications
Manual test button for quick periodic testing
Integrated neutral lead for simplified wiring
35 mm DIN rail mounting compatibility for fast, secure installation
